cash deposits on carnival

[illusions_on_the_sea]

Hi,

I'm posting these questions for a friend of mine, whose computer has crashed and can't post it herself. Ok, she and her DH are going on Carnival Liberty (8 day cruise) in Nov and taking their 2 DDs (ages 4 and 1). They want to put down a cash deposit instead of using a credit card. Anyone know the amount of the deposit they will be required to put down and if Carnival will make them put a deposit down for the two kids? Any help would be appreciated.

Carnival states $300 for 8-day cruises. That would be for everyone. And they will need to book the kids at the same time if they are staying in the same room.

Thank you. They are all booked together for Nov. Thanks again

Did you mean $300.00 each or $300.00 in total?

Each. Per person. Everyone pays the $300. :o

 

Sorry, in rereading that is does sound like I meant total.

Thanks a lot! Wow, I can't believe they would charge $300.00 for a 4 year old and an infant!! Wowser!

You can get by with less then $300 pp We put $600 total on a 7 day cruise for 4 people (2 adults 2 kids) with no problem. If everyone is in the same cabin and on the same account you can get by with $500-600 total for a SS deposit, anything they don't spend will be returned to them at cruise end. Just remember gratuities are $320 for 4 people on a 8 day cruise if not prepaid. so it wouldnt leave much spending room :)
